道德滑坡:
写作原文
①Looking at this thought-provoking picture(加which was,其中which引导定语从句,修饰picture;was和后面的depicted构成被动语态) symbolically depicted by the drawer, I do realize the urgency to improve the moral standards nowadays. ②A pregnant woman, an old man and his little granddaughter stands(stands改为stand,该句主语为复数,主谓应保持一致)on the crowded bus, looking at a young man who sits in the seat comfortably with a piece of black cloth covering his eyes, puzzled and indignant(puzzled and indignant是用来修饰the yong man, 或是作者感到困惑和愤怒,应表达清晰;若要表达作者的情感,可改为:...covering his eyes. I feel puzzled and indignant).①The temporary blind in the picture indicates a serious phenomenon in the modern society that some young people are suffering from moral decline. ②The reasons contributing to moral decline are worth pondering. ③First, respecting the old and caring the young is abandoned by some modern people, because they only care about their own benefits. ④Only if you could provide them with a great outcome(a great outcome改为great outcomes,和them保持一致), will they lend you a hand(a hand改为hands,和they保持一致) in exchange. ⑤In addition, the educational system is also to blame(be to blame for意为对应负责任;应该为某事负责任,如果要表述教育体制也应对此负责,可表达为:the educational system is also to blame for the phenomenon;如若要表述教育体制也应受到责备,可表达为the educational system should also to be blamed). ⑥It emphasizes more on high marks at the expense of having few time to teach traditional moral values in school which leads to peoples defect (defect为可数名词,此处应改为defects和people保持一致)on this issue.①It is high time that we fostered our moral values. ②For one thing, schools and governments should play an active role (an active role应改为active roles,前后主谓保持一致,主语为schools and governments)in advocating moral values and traditional virtues to teach the young. ③For another, individuals should learn more about virtues and help people around with a warm heart(a warm heart改为warm hearts,前后单复数保持一致). ④Only through our joint effort(effort应改为efforts,前后单复数保持一致), could we recollect the virtues.
原作点评
第一段描述图画的内容。第①句,picture应该是被drawer描绘的,所以应该用被动语态be+动词的过去的、分词来表示;第②句最后,表达不够清晰,应注意。第二段揭示图画的寓意,阐述产生此现象的几个原因。应注意单复数问题。第三段结合前两段的阐述,提出建议。
总体点评
文章亮点:文章结构完整,每个段落的功能基本得以体现。文章错误:①语法错误:文章出现了一些语法错误,比如被动语态、名词单复数形式等。②句法错误:有的句子表达不够清楚。比如第一段第②句,第二段第⑤句。修改意见:文章整体结构不错,但是要注意一些细节,避免不必要的错误。本文中,单复数一致问题较多,希望作者在完成习作时应多检查,尽量减少此类错误。
英语写作水平的提升需要不断地练习,在改正错误中不断取得进步,不怕犯错误,怕明知道犯错误却不面对。看了范文和点评,希望大家有思考,有提高。
